Purpose: Configure basic settings according to the service vendor. The information needed varies between different services. Basically, each service requires the domain name, account, and password information.
Location: Gateways > (Selected Gateway) > NETWORK > Dynamic DNS
Available vendors are DynDNS, FreeDNS, and DNSPod.
If a version earlier than Cloud Edge 5.5 is installed on the gateway, the DNSPod option will not be available in the Vendor drop-down box.
Auto: | (Default) Cloud Edge auto-discovers an interface with a non-private IP address according to RFC 1597. |
(Interface Name): | Select the WAN interface from the list of available interfaces (for example, WAN or LAN1). |
DynDNS provides HTTPS connections as an option. Other vendors (such as FreeDNS) do not expose the HTTPS interface, while DNSPod requires mandatory HTTPS connections.
